I mean, it isn't DRIPPING blood or anything, I think the little buggars sliced me open a tiny bit is all. It freakin' stings though! Like a bad papercut." He held out the maimed hand to the 'Claw, "You have a look, you are probably the smartest person I know. Will it survive? Just tell me straight, Vee, does this thing need...." GULP "... amputated?"
Vickers also seemed to notice the locket Elijah had retrieved from the bowtruckle. "Oh this," he indicated, bending his chin as far down as possible, looking the jewelry over in his left hand again. "That little BEAST that had latched itself to my hand dropped it. I think it is only fair that I keep it considering the damn thing HURT me. Like a sort of battle trophy, yeah?" he began to laugh. The whole thing seemed so silly in retrospect. Then he remembered his hand again...
"But my hand? It doesn't need amputated?" he asked again, a little more panicked this time.
Merlin's bushy beard! He called Elwood his what?????
Really must he have to e.nun.ci.ate that? Smack in the middle of the entire class who are more than likely
looking and listening to him because of that strange trinket hanging on his neck?
Granted, in the ruckus Vickers missed the point deduction on Elijah but oh yeah he knows about it now.
"Let me look at your hand then..." he said through gritted teeth as he grabbed the Curly!Puff's hand so tightly he was pretty sure whatever pain the other lad felt it just doubled. Amputate? Was that a wish? Because he would looooove to do the honors now. Pushing his glasses up annoyingly he peered down at the Hufflepuff's hand. He was right about the papercuts, but sheesh they were so tiny hardly any blood has broken the surface
"Dont' worry you'll live.... once we attach a hook to the stump." he grumbled as he dropped the Hufflepuff's hand without much fanfare.
Unbelievable. That was the obvious expression on Vickers' face once he heard Elijah explain about the locket.
"So you just picked up some strange locket off the forest floor and wore it around your neck? You ever heard of cursed lockets mate?" he muttered then listened to Alyssa speak. Then caught Kurumi's smiling at him. He smiles back of course
the sorry sap. But yeah annoyed look back to the Curly!Puff
"Yeah... I think you better tell the Professors what you found?... and take that thing off your neck?" he winced gesturing at the dull-shiny thing hanging against the yellow robes.
